Brisbane's Big Kick On
One last hurrah before the city's late-night entertainment scene changes forever.
Overview
On July 1, Brisbane's late-night entertainment scene will change forever. With new lockout laws kicking in, catching a few gigs, having a couple of drinks and partying away into the early hours of the next morning is going to be a whole lot tougher — and that's before another round of even harsher rules drop next February.
Alas, with just days to go, it seems like the legislation really is going ahead, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy one last hurrah before it does. On June 30, a heap of Brissie joints are banding together to throw a final multi-venue extravaganza. Think of it as a celebration of the city's thriving music scene, a showcase its talent and another protest about the forthcoming situation. Oh, and did we mention that it'll cost you absolutely nothing?
Black Bear Lodge, The Brightside, The Flying Cock and The Foundry are the places to head to for the aptly named Brisbane's Big Kick On, with each space highlighting just what makes a night out in the Valley so damn great. They'll have a heap of help, of course, courtesy of a lineup that features Baskervillain, Carmouflage Rose, Dumb Punts, Erick Sanders, Golden Vessel, I OH YOU DJs, The Jensens, Lastlings, Leø, Midas.Gold featuring Gallus, Romy, Shady Bliss, Shag Rock, Surfin' Bird, Twin Haus, Zaped x Groszek, Krasnov and Butterlungs. Now that's how you throw a party.
